100 bu canola

[crusher]

Had some 75 bpa fields in '05. Can't remember what we did but I'm sure it was all weather related. Was a bitch to swath and combine. Also remember selling some for $5.85 that year.

I've had patches run in the 70's. To get to 100 you'll need close to 300#/ac total N, I want to say another 60#K 80# P and 50# of S.

I will continue slumming it in the ghetto as well!
I bet Gary Pike is in! He could use the 100 hours on a line of new equipment. i think Broad Acre Farms may be a little shy on power units going forward.

I think someone at JD really doesn't understand the law of diminishing returns. There is no money to be made shooting for a 100 bu/a crop. You make 100 you make some money. Who pays when you need 80 bu/a at $12 to break even and don't make it? JD? LOL

Can get big yields on heavily manured land with irrigation....but not 100

Didn't I hear Ben Hudey hit the mark in about 2006?

Let Agritrend grow a small irrigated plot of 100 bu/ac canola first before promoting a fifty acre contest. Maybe its been done on a small scale but I doubt it.

World record comes out of new Zealand at 112bpa. I'm thinking it's a winter type.

Agritrend. What a joke. Small failed farmers become 'coaches' and advise multimillion dollar farm managers how to improve their business. LOL.

I'm going to say like most others a 50 acre field could maybe get to 80 if every thing worked out. To a 100 is bull shit luck. Also for years Ben Hudye tried at and couldn't. Also some companies use a way wagon on your best strip in field. Ah an old fence line and maybe but 50 is a nice size plot. This is a way to generate income for the company not farmers.
